Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have difficulty in swallowing and tenderness in neck dont worry it can be throat infection .

You can do is take medication for this One Tablet Azithromycin once daily for three days.

One tablet Metronidazole twice daily for 3 days

One tablet Vitamin B complex once daily for three days

Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.

If you wont get relief then consult ENT surgeon for local examination

Hope this will help you.
